Lyrics

Family

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

He's on the run from a bad break

His soles are worn down to the skin

He's got the scars of a heartache

So you can see everywhere he's been

And where he was he was the only one

So he went looking for his mother's son

And with my family around me now

It takes me to a new place

When my family surrounds me now

You see it on my face

But his own people didn't know him

They couldn't take the bad with the good

There's just so much he couldn't show them

It left him sneaking 'round the neighborhood

He just wanted to be known and loved

And sometimes flesh and blood is not enough

Who's my sister, who's my brother

Who's my father, who is my mother

Those who I cannot sell anything

Those who cannot buy my love
